He is dead, very dead

An official of the Norwegian foreign ministry approached me yesterday after my talk and told me this. Knowing how I closely follow the news of the health of Prince Sultan, he said that Prince Salman was scheduled to be visiting Oslo this very week (along with an entourage of 45 people) but that the prince called at the last minute and canceled and said that he had to be with his brother Prince Sultan. You know what that means, right? It means that Prince Sultan is now more dead than ever. Dig deeper o grave digger, as the poet Khalil Hawi said.
