Yeah, I proved it a couple of days ago.  I discovered the proof in a flash 
of insight while I was in the second floor washroom.  I wrote the proof out
on the wall.  Unfortunately, by the time I came back with a pencil and paper
to copy it down, Physical Plant had re-painted the place.  Now I can't 
remember how the proof went.
