   (real-life Puzzle) a single middle-aged man, eats dinner alone in a   
   diner or a bistro type joint.   
      
      
     in (French and) American movies,  a single middle-aged man   
                  (think Dirty Harry, or its older version: Frank)   
                  ( or Denzel.W as the [equalizer])   
                  ( or Liam Neeson, as...)   
      
             typically eats dinner  alone in a diner or a bistro type joint.   
      
      
   I've always felt that this happens 100+ times more   
              often in movies than in real life....
