manicomio
EN If I ask the Bank of England to place this bill to the credit of the man it belongs to, they'll do it, for they know him, although I don't; but they will ask me how I came in possession of it, and if I tell the truth, they'll put me in the asylum, naturally, and a lie will land me in jail.
GL Se lle pido ó Banco de Inglaterra que deposite o billete entre os haberes do home ó que pertence, farao pois, a diferencia de min, coñéceno; pero preguntaranme cómo foi que me fixen con el, e se lles digo a verdade meteranme no psiquiátrico, como non, e unha mentira farame acabar no cárcere.
