From Canadian movie "Net Worth". In the 1950s the NHL controlled the players, their payments, their pensions. After a teammate dies in poverty because he couldn't access his pension, Lindsay organises a league-wide player assocation (not a union, they insist, at first)
The association's lawyer soon finds the NHL has a catch-22 position on a supposed bylaw prohibiting the players from seeing their own contracts and pension information.

Ted Lindsay

What bylaws? I've been in the league for 12 years I've never seen no bylaws!

Conn Smythe  

They're right here [brandishes a book]

Milton Mound  

May I see them please?

Conn Smythe

They're confidential

Milton Mound

How can a bylaw be confidential?

Conn Smythe

Only the governors are privy to them. It says so right here in the bylaws

Milton Mound

Well you show me where it says that.

Conn Smythe

You're prohibited from seeing the bylaws. It says so in the bylaw!
