Unusual uses of skills?

In a thread discussing how the game has changed over various editions, TheAuldGrump mentions how all of his players died trying to swim a raging river except the one with a Swim skill. It suddenly occurred to me that, DM permitting, the player might have used his skill to determine if the river was actually safe to swim in the first place...

Are there any examples of clever/unusual uses that your players, or you as a player, have done with your skills? Such as, perhaps, using a Craft skill to create something that only LOOKED strong and sturdy, only to have it fall apart at an opportune time? Or using a Move Silently skill to help a group of freed prisoners move silently through a jail, supervising them and helping them move quietly without alerting the guards?
