Not in this game, but I did have to drop out of an instanced quest on Guild Wars because the local cops couldn't tell the difference between the vase in my window and a bong.

Nice, non-confrontational, and it keeps 'em guessing. I like to do this during load screens, it helps add to the effect. 
I've got a load of these:
"Hey guys, I gotta go. The power just got shut off so I need to turn off the computer."
"AFK they're tapping the keg"
"AFK sex"
"brb house burning down"
"brb Jehovah's. Need to go have some fun >
"
(Unintended to offend any Jehovah's who may read this, and please forgive my spelling if it's incorrect. If it's correct, go me!)
"brb need to hide in-law's bodies"

Sort of unrelated, but I once played CoH while a game of strip beer pong was going on behind me. I went afk for the last few cups, but I didn't tell my team why :P
most excellent....but if that was going on...COH would not have been even a remote option
my favorite wasn't a bail excuse per se. It was a mistell sent to team chat. We were on a Manticore, and one person was whining about not having a healer.
About 1/2 through the first mission, he says in team chat "I think ima fake a DC and go play another toon for a bit." I responed like so: "lol" <ignore> <gignore> <kick>. I'f have paid good money to see he tell log for the rest of that conversation.

Nope, the place is being rented by someone else now. Gotta love games where you want your favorite team to lose.
Actually the poweroff excuse i can use... got the router and 3 computers an a 2 hour backup. As long as the phoneline is in tact (DSL) we can lose power, finish the mish, and log. Priorities. Fridge an lose power for a few days, but we cant just leave games without a proper bye.
Best one i've heard was actually a roommate of ours. We were running a posi with the SG and every mish hes just stop moving his toon for like 15 minutes. Then he would run around a bit. No notice or anything. As it turns out he was in the bathroom every time. Finally we asked him if he was okay, and he said "i got to log, im gonna sleep." To this day we still don't know what was going on.
One of the best "honest" ones i got from an SG mate was "AFK, vodka not agreeing with me" followed up with "that took too long to write, gotta log and hose down the keyboard." I cant be sure how true that was, but the mental image was fantastic.
Excuses?!
