Catch 22

”Catch 22″ is a form of explanation for a situation where one thing must happen in order to cause another thing to happen, but because the first thing does not happen the second thing cannot happen as well. An example would be like this: “If you don’t have a place to stay, you can’t get a job and with no job, you can’t get an apartment.”

A catch 22 is a frustrating situation in which one is trapped by contradictory regulations or conditions. ChaCha again soon

A "Catch 22 situation" is one in which: no matter which way you go, there is an undesired result or outcome. A perfect example, would be that to find out about an afterlife, you would need to die. Therefore, you either cannot find out, or you have to die to find out.
