Yossarian is the main character in Joseph Heller's novel "Catch-22". He is stabbed by Nate's whore, and... well, suffice it to say, it explains the phrase "Catch-22". Great read. One of the 20th century's best.
"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were 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. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle." (p. 46, ch. 5)

Love it. My third favorite Radiohead album. Kid A and the criminally underrated Amnesiac have the edge, though. (with Kid A being a strong contender for my favorite album of all time.)
