Yep, it's that time again.
>yfw you get to that part in the book in which the title is written/the title finally makes sense.

My favorite example is in To Kill a Mockingbird.
"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. Where there will be a movie adaptation of the story, to be released around the time that some towelheads fly I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are.

Catch-22 gets said a few dozen times in Catch-22.They say Catch-22 multiple times in a sentence.Its crazy how often they say Catch-22.
