Notice to social services

“The daughter still catches the flu. “Have you seen the neckline she's wearing?” said the Portuguese president last Thursday to two Portuguese emigrants, mother and daughter, with whom he spoke in Toronto.. The moment was recorded by public television.

“At the end of the walk through the Portuguese part of Montreal it started to rain, it was cold” and that's why he warned “several older ladies, one of them with white hair and others who were younger,” he explained this Sunday. “I told several people, but apparently only one young woman was recorded: be careful, they still get constipated.”. “I got constipated,” he added.
