Thank you, Joseph Heller!



"He was polite to his elders, who disliked him. Whatever his elders told him to do, he did. They told him to look before he leaped, and he always looked before he leaped. They told him never to put off until the next day what he could do the day before, and he never did. He was told to honor his mother and his father, and he honored his mother and his father. He was told that he should not kill, and he did not kill, until he got in the Army. Then he was told to kill, and he killed. He turned the other cheek on every occasion and always did unto others exactly as he would have had others do unto him. When he gave to charity, his left hand never knew what his right hand was doing. He never once took the name of the Lord his God in vain, committed adultery, or coveted his neighbor's ass. In fact, he loved his neighbor and never ever bore false witness against him. Major Major's elders disliked him because he was such a flagrant nonconformist."

Catch 22
New York, 1955
 
Ford Prefect, The Queen of Hearts, and March Hare all come to mind....
 
The teenage mutant ninja turtles. How much more crazy can you get?

Ghostbusters. That's how much crazier you can get :p
 
Gargantua and Pantagruel...Rabelais was a brilliant satirist. :D
 
Zaphod Beeblebrox. Although the fact that he was President reduces the ridiculousness a little. It was a given.
