The other day I was shaving, and I cut myself with the razor.  My face bled 
rather profusely, because there are a lot of blood vessels in the face.

The question arises: Was this merely an accident?  Or was God trying to put 
me out of my misery?

I'm pretty sure it was the latter.  But you'd have to know all the 
underlying circumstances.
