But, I really never have done "rm -rf /"!

I *have*, however, done "rm -Rf / tmp/foo" before.  Of course, I didn't
realize what I had done until it was too late.  I found myself wondering
why it hadn't returned yet, and then I realized my error...

And of course, at the time, I was indeed root.  :-/
