    'I'm Fixin To Blow It Up': Bathroom Warning Mistaken For Bomb Threat At Home Depot



    WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) — A report of a bomb threat at a Home Depot store in Kansas turned out to be a big misunderstanding.

    Someone at the store in Wichita called 911 after a customer reported they had overheard the threat in the store's restroom.

    "We just had a customer here made what may have been a bomb threat," said the caller. "He said, uh, somebody told me there's a bomb in here and you need to leave the building. He said it three times."

    Police did some investigating and learned the "bomb threat" came from a man in a bathroom stall warning others about the severity of his need to use the restroom, CBS affiliate KWCH reported.

    "You all need to get out of here because I'm fixin' to blow it up," he was heard to say.

    One witness said he laughed at the remark and took it as a joke.

    That ain't redneck man. That's standard southern.

    I recall Dr Brown telling a story about moving to Pensacola for the revival (he's a native NYer) and after being there a good time, he was up in front of a group taking about something and he went to say something and the only words he could think of that fit was 'fixing to'. lol.

    If you live here it WILL become a part of your vocabulary eventually. :)
