Best Use of Bluff?

Quidam

First Post
I've a high CHA warlock and am considrering picking up Beguiling Influence, which would have me at +19 to bluff by 4th level.

Aside from the feint action, what are some of the more memorable uses for Bluff that you've seen in play? I'm as interested in creative as I am in effective.

* Convincing that cute barmaid, king's daughter, etc that you "love" her and plan on getting married right after you finish some buisness with a certain villian.
* Convincing the father of formentioned daughter that you DID not sleep with her and have not even seen her naked... (It was just too dark in the cellar to see without a lantern.)
* "Of couse I'm here to releive you of your shift! Captin Walus said something about wanting you bright eyed and bussy tailed at dawn... (dramatic pause as guard walks off) And now to help myself to the crown jewels."
* "I don't know how that sword got there constable, YOU know I only like to stab people with daggers."

I've always seen bulff as a way to lie your way into or out of trouble. That and to tell tall tales!

He who has the highest Bluff is He who won the fight.....
 

I used it for goofy roleplaying when I played a Binder. Having your body change daily requires good Bluffing. We also had a rule where a natural 20 on a skill check would add 10. I got that on a few different Bluffs.
It was the first time meeting the other characters. I looked sickly.
"Don't worry, I'm not contagious." "What happened to you?" "I was cursed by a witch." My Bluff was easily in the 30s. They always believed it.
Later, I had Full Plate from a Vestige. "Where did you get that Full Plate?" "I found it by a tree." "Wow! Can you look for some of that for me?"
When I ditched the Full Plate for something else, they noticed. "What happened to your Full Plate?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Oh my god. He doesn't even remember having Full Plate."
Bluff = Good Times
