This one has special meaning for me, as "Walking on Sunshine" was a key element in one of the funniest times I had with my friend Erin in her jeep in high school. The jeep was Erin's baby, and probably the place we were most often besides her house and school. Enjoy:

A Teeny, Tiny Bit of Justice
In the first hours of the first day that it was legally possible to
register handguns in the nation's capital, only one person showed up to do
so--and he was turned away because he didn't bring his weapon with
him.
Capitol Hill resident Dick A. Heller, whose lawsuit prompted the
landmark Supreme Court ruling that scuttled the city's strict firearms control
laws, arrived at D.C. police headquarters at 6:30 a.m., 30 minutes before the
new gun registration process was scheduled to begin.
Heller, accompanied by an adviser, was met on the steps of the building by a cluster of camera crews and Lt. Jon Shelton, head of the firearms registration unit. In an animated discussion, police explained to Heller that he needed to show officials the guns he wanted to register -- and allow them to be test-fired -- as part of the
registration process.
