The nice thing about the tests I put at the top (-i lo and -p icmp) is
that they can be decided by just looking at the packet, no need check
the state table before decideing. (Well, as long as you ignore the fact
that Wade is rate limiting ping.)

In addition, I like to also put the -i lo test first just to make sure I
don't forget it. It's pretty important for a Linux system to be able to
talk to itself.
