Mes Secrets Inconnus

I have been reading Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. In this novel pilots flying dangerous missions can seek exemption from duty if they can produce a medical evaluation that they are insane. But if a pilot asks for such an evaluation, he must be sane enough to know his condition. Now the catch is this: If you ask for an evaluation, you are sane and so you cannot claim exemption from flying duties. If you don’t ask, automatically you are taken to be sane and so must fly.. Too bad for a Catch 22 :-)
