Prince Salman's health

An Asian colleague sent me this:  "But this note is in re to the story on Prince Salman's health. I was at Hajj last year and attended a meeting that was scheduled to be addressed by King Abdullah. The king didn't show up (although he was reported to be in the palace); instead Crown Prince Naif came. He read his speech most incoherently, often gobbling the words, repeating sentences, and taking long pauses. I told my friends after the meeting that they should start looking for his successor. I saw Prince Salman only three days after that. He looked fit and healthy and I didn't notice any symptoms of Alzemeir, although not being a physician I couldn't be a good judge of that.  You may publish this in your blog without mentioning my name."
