Heh.
My old gaming group back in college had a player who loved to make characters with "underutilized" skills - if the party was mostly kick-in-the-door fighters, she'd be the one with high levels of Appraise, Handle Animal, and Knowledge:Engineering (or the equivalents). One game she made a character who, due to the interaction of stats and skill points, had an unusually high base skill in Operate Heavy Machinery. She then proceeded to specialize and pump additional points into it, ending up as something like a Shadowrun "rigger" (combat driver/drone operator):
"My name is Indigo Montoya. My father was killed by a six-fingered man driving a bulldozer. Since that day, I have dedicated my life to the study of construction equipment ... I will go up to the six-fingered man and say "Hello. My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to go squish."
