Cool HH/HS wiring tricks with stock 5-way switch?

Any cool wiring tricks for two pickup guitars with the 'normal' 5-way? I've never seen any in-depth discussion on that.

Dimarzio has a ton of wiring diagrams on their site for a 5 way with two humbuckers.

I checked before posting, and they have basically nothing for a fender style 5-way, certainly nothing in the 'cool' or 'clever' category.

Sorry I missed the normal part.

You're not going to get any interesting wiring configurations with a standard 5 way and 2 humbuckers.

Stock 5 way wont' really do it, not enough poles.  You need a 20 pole 5 way.
