Missing any form of transportation you were supposed to be on, and discovering it was in a terrible accident, or driving a different way to work/school, or where ever you were to go and missing a major accident.
Those who were running late or stopped to do something else, or were scheduled to be out of the office on 9/11- any scenario when a life or injury was spared because of out of the norm circumstances. To me these are more plausible examples of divine intervention.

Get the inserection mug.A Penile Intervention is a strategy used to disrupt a conversation. Timed well, it can lead to a halt in conversation, or, if your lucky, a stop in the conversation of the group for 10 whole minutes. The manouvre is performed by, during the conversation, unzipping your flies, whipping your meat 'n' two veg out, and flailing it in a wild and majestic manner about the room, hopefully ending your fiasco somewhere near the most sexually active, and preferably heterosexual, male in the group.
