Example 3

In Catch-22, the chaplain is interrogated for supposedly being "Washington Irving"/"Irving Washington", who has been blocking out large portions of soldiers' letters home. The colonel has found such a letter, but with the chaplain's name signed.

:"You can read, though, can't you?" the colonel persevered sarcastically. "The author signed his name."
:"That's my name there."
:"Then you wrote it. Q.E.D."
