Catch-22 (post three)

"Milo was paying no attention. "let me be your partner," he blurted out imploringly. 
Yossarian turned him down, even though he had no doubt that the truckloads of fruit that would be theirs to dispose of any way they saw fit once Yossarian had requistioned them from the mess hall with Doc Daneeka's letter. "

Milo is a new character the author has just introduced. He is a chef in the military who is new to Yossarian's location. Yossarian is showing him the roots of the camp and about all the characters that are stationed there. Yossarian says many things to him including to watch out for Corporal Snark, and how he poisined the sweet potatoes with G.I. soap early. Yossarian has a letter from Doc Daneeka saying that he has to get all the fruit he wants because of a liver problem. Yossarian is always looking for ways to cheat the system and this is just the latest on he has come up with.  He is trying to take advantage of the new guy and score as much fruit as him and any of his friends could ever want. This book is still very funny and the author is keeping me entertained by making the all kinds of hilarious situations Yossarian finds himself in, and I can't wait to read more.
