A man at a Home Depot in Kansas was arrested after making a “bomb threat.” The only problem was that he was only making a joke. An employee called police after he said the suspect told him that there was a “bomb in the building.” When cops arrived the suspect said another man told him, “You all need to get out of here because I’m fixin to blow it up.” The suspect said he thought the employee understood the meaning of the phrase “blowing up the bathroom” i.e. someone stinking up the bathroom, and wasn’t trying to cause any harm or confusion.
