>>95 のしょっぱなに出てくる institution を、次のような意味で解釈すると、面白いね。 institution a building where people with special needs are taken care of, for example because they are old or mentally ill (OALD) あくまでジョークですから、怒らないでね。
a. An establishment, organization, or association, instituted for the promotion of some object, esp. one of public or general utility, religious, charitable, educational, etc., e.g. a church, school, college, hospital, asylum, reformatory, mission, or the like; as a literary and philosophical institution, a deaf and dumb institution, the Royal National Life-boat Institution, the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution (instituted 1798), the Railway Benevolent Institution, etc. The name is often popularly applied to the building appropriated to the work of a benevolent or educational institution. (OED Online) それにしても、OALD よりもはるかに詳しいね。当たり前だけど。
