When people tell me that I usually invite them to find a nice tall building and jump off the top floor. If they die, it was their time. If not, it wasn't.

Hmmmm. Didn't they used to do something similar with the suspected witches in Salem?

Not the same thing. The witch would die regardless, whereas, if it's not your time, the fall from the building won't kill you. If it is your time, well, it's your time!
