Sounds like a Catch-22.
- Lanzaa 2y agoJust in case you or other readers don't already know. The phrase Catch-22 is from the book "Catch-22". The plot of "Catch-22" is about a bomber pilot who is caught in that situation, "generals in charge ... ask crews to fly more missions".

Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to."
