That one sucks :)

Try a dialog saying:

"Do you want to execute:
`echo "Clicking 'no' will erase your home directory;.."|sed -r 
"s/.*;//g"|sed s/\.\./ls/`"

This one will of course only do a "ls". People see the clicking no will 
erase the home dir part, everything else just looks like garbage. And 
trust me this is done on the fly, you can't even imagine how creative 
people can get with this thing.
