2. Aww--looks cute tucking his napkin in. However, I would never eat
in a place with "dooky" in the name. But that's just me.

7. If it was good enough for Ray Charles, it's good enough for me!
"I went to Dooky Chase
To get me something to eat
The waitress looked at me and said
Ray you sure look beat,
Now its early in the morning
And I ain't got nothing but the blues

—Ray Charles, "Early in the Morning Blues"

10. People who have the blues always "Woke up this morning..."
Or at least, that's what they always tell you at the beginning of the song...

3. Is it me, or does the drawing of the trumpet player actually look like Obama when he was younger?
