    A few weeks ago, I have posted a story where two girls demanded chocolate over cash, well we have yet another story in a similar fashion... but this time it's more ridiculous!

    Hungry Man Holds Up Store, Demands Sushi

    Mon Feb 14, 9:17 AM ET

    TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese man pulled a knife in a convenience store early Sunday morning and threatened to kill himself unless he was given a meal of the choicest sushi.

    The 68-year-old unemployed man barged into the store in the western city of Osaka after first setting fire to his nearby apartment, police said Monday. Newspapers said the man claimed he couldn't eat because his state benefit payments had been stopped.

    Police overpowered the man after about an hour, during which time he ate bananas and helped himself to alcoholic drinks and vitamin supplements. Police declined to say whether he got any sushi.

    So he can afford to rent an apartment in one of the most expensive rental city in the world, but can't afford any sushi?
