Garlic is toxic to cats.
Thank you, Champion.
Garlic is toxic to cats because it causes anemia, but it's not all that toxic. A cat would have to eat a couple ounces of garlic a day for a couple weeks to develop significant anemia.
Just like dogs and chocolate. Yes chocolate can kill them but it takes one ounce of milk chocolate per pound of body weight to kill a dog. So if your 20 pound pug eats a single candy bar it will be fine. Dark chocolate on the other hand is significantly more dangerous.

When my daughter was less than a year old, she had an "explosive event" while I was watching her. It was bad. Somehow it managed to completely bypass the diaper she was wearing and ended up all over her, the seat she was in, and the floor.

First-time parents should never buy pink or blue for thier children. Stick with yellow (and to a lesser extent green) pastel clothes until they are good at putting diapers on.
The most nail-biting event I ever had in a PvP zone wasn't from another player. I was trying to get a Warburg nuke when my 1 year-old started to wake from his nap. I drug the last scientist to his door, then ran to redeem the code. My son started to make a few little noises and I knew what was coming.
I got up to the last control panel to launch the rocket and waited for that interaction bar to finish, glancing over to see him squirm a bit.....
The rocket launched and to finish it's animation was the sound of...."BlooooOOOOoooooorrrRRrrrrooooooooopp!"

My funniest AFKs (yes... more than one) were when i had to suddenly change clothes because i took a bath of <<<insert icky beverage here>>>. That still happens from time to time. Yes, I am clumsy.

Funniest AFK was when my neighbors were being robbed.
I assure you, it's funny. The robber didn't actually HAVE a weapon, nor did he attempt to take any of the many knives found in the kitchen. No, his plan was to demand money and stroll away in his... Red Mustang. They chased him out, and called me for additional support in doing so.
Moral 1: Don't try to rob handgun owners in Texas... They own bigger things, too.
Moral 2: The better the reason, the less people will believe you.
Not funny but true.
/AFK CAT VOMIT!
The cat was ON the computer desk at the time.

Chocolate and salt are toxic to people too... we can still eat them.
Everything is about quantity, I wouldn't feed a cat garlic bread regularly, but occasionally it won't do them any harm.
Milk will do them much more harm imo and cats all over the place drink that.

I've had that too, but with my son, he used to "miss" his diaper completely! yet have it still covering his whole butt when I go to change him! Of course now I get to go AFK because I have to see the newest drawing of Ben 10! I prefer that to the former! 
"Everyone does something nerdy. My husband just happens to lead teams of them on missions."
I've had several instances of "AFK, Police at door". Mostly they were looking for specific drug dealers or prostitutes, who would only become a cop-worthy nuisance if they bothered the tourists. But sometimes it was more interesting. Here are some of the better ones!
Once, when the cops got enough complaints about noisy Roosters being kept in a residential area that they finally had to break up the local illegal cockfighting ring. The apartment management took them on a door-to-door search for hidden birds, turning up six in our twenty-four unit complex (and one pig, I am not kidding, they kept it in the bathtub). Later that year it was exposed that they'd dragged their feet so much on enforcing city livestock code because nearly half the local force had game birds of their own, and didn't want to appear to be using their position of authority to unfairly influence their recreational gambling on illegal violent animal combat. Ha ha, ethics!
Once, when it turned out the apartment next door, belonging to a sweet old blind lady, was being transformed into a meth lab by her nephew (fortunately he was still just accumulating materials, and hadn't begun production... that place was toxic enough already). That one was especially satisfying, because he showed up right while they were talking to us, high as a kite and convinced he was invincible, and tried (very impressively) to resist arrest. We knew it was going to be an entertaining fight when they pepper-sprayed him right in the face and he didn't even blink. They wound up dislocating his shoulder and breaking three of his ribs. I have never regretted not owning a video camera more.
Once, when my roommate turned out to have used his tourist passport to escape from mandatory military service in Romania for nearly two years. Between things stolen when he left, damage to the apartment and utilities he never caught up on, that jackass went home owing me $1,200.
And finally, once when the cops came to inform us that the building owners were being charged with all sorts of crap relating to bribing the county building inspector (the owner's wife's cousin, in fact) to ignore multiple huge and horrible safety issues that should have had the whole wretched place condemned years before, and that we had twenty four hours to find a new place to live, since earthquake damage to the building made it irreparably unsafe for habitation.
And then people ask me why I moved away from Hawaii...

I actually had to leave mid-mission once because my dad informed me that it had snowed about three feet the previous night, and if I wanted to go anywhere in the next week I had better get started on shoveling my car out of the snow. The previous day, there wasn't that much snow - maybe halfway up the tire, not a big deal in Michigan. When I went outside, the snow was halfway up the WINDOWS...
On the plus side I was soloing, so it wasn't really a big deal.
I will totally buy your autobiography.

Oh my gosh.
Write a book. It would be brilliant!
My most often used AFK is "the dogs are fighting." Not so much any more since they'e all been fixed, but at one point, it was like having three little Hell's in Handbaskets, all trying to kill each other.
Another common one is "dogs after the cats, AFK."
...I guess I really don't have any "funny" ones, just AFK's related to animals attacking each other...
About 5 seconds ago someone typed
AFK HEAD
So... um... I typed AFK TAILS?
The night before I had been playing my beloved CoH and enjoying a few brews. Maybe more than a few. We had cats at the time who of course enjoyed frolicking next to the monitor and all over my keyboard. So, one of my empties was knocked onto the floor behind the desk and shattered. Well, got that cleaned up without too many problems.
During my next session I had recently hopped out of the shower and happened to be barefoot. About an hour into a task force I faceplant and squirm in irritation, sliding one of my feet along the floor. Something stings a bit but I shrug it off, could be anything down there... A few minutes later I notice that the floor feels wet and when I glance down and see the blood smeared around and mixing with old cat hair I decide that it might be a good idea to give the place a good cleaning.
I think I said something like: "Foot cut on broken bottle, quick afk for bandaging"

Funny response, but I'm hazarding a guess that the "head" they were referring to is the restroom. In the Navy, maybe.

See.
I was thinking they were talking about something MUCH dirtier 
and so I was tryin to "lighten" it up a bit
Then you totally misspelled it. The correct response would've been "AFK TAIL".
The 'x' and the 'c' should not be next to each other:
"AFK for a sex" yeah, I've typed that many times.

Now there is a good excuse.
My personal best has been "Sorry, light fixture fell on my head", with "AFK, someone just met the mummy." as a close second.

Okay, what are some the funniest (but real) reasons you've had to AFK?
I was eating some leftover Garlic Bread as a snack while I was playing, when the cat suddenly snaked a paw up over the side of my computer desk, snagged a piece, and dragged it off onto the floor! (I had cut it into smaller pieces to make it easier to handle.) I hit my "AFK for a minute, BRB" macro, and went after her to retrieve it.
I got another plate and put it on the floor with a TINY piece of the garlic bread for her, and set that piece aside in case she wanted more. She did, and she ate several bits (total about the size of the end of my thumb).
The funniest part was when I got back, and said "Back, sorry, cat stole my garlic bread", no one would believe me!!
So what funny/wierd AFKs have you had?
