Major Major Major from Catch 22 who was promoted straight from Private to........

That's right, Major.

No rep for you, too much in last 24 hours.

Just re-read that book recently; most of the names in that book are wordplay. There's Snowden, who dies feeling `I'm cold, so cold'.

Colonel Scheisskopf, who is indeed a shithead.

Orr, who paddles his way with an oar to freedom. From some brief googling, apparently Orr is Swedish for a type of goose, which is known for playing the fool -- something which Orr does in order to trick people into thinking he's crazy.

Of course these aren't really Nominative Determinisms, but interesting nonetheless.
