Rails - Apr 2007 - What's the pattern for "has many of yourself"?

I feel like I should kow this, but it''s ust not coming to me.  I have a
model that points to a bunch of "related" instances of itself.  That
is,
Foo has_many :foos.

How am I supposed to model that relationship?  If I do a "has and
belongs to many"  then I''m going to end up with a majors_majors
table?

has_many :foos
belongs_to :foo

should work with a foo_id column in the table.
