From the novel of the same name, which coined the phrase
In WWII Yossarian wants to get out of the military. He can do so by being declared insane. However, since he wants to get out of the military he's sane. Only an insane man would want to stay in the war. As soon as he asks to be relased he's showing his sanity.
