Rejected GEICO Similes

The list for March 15, 2013

Don’t leave Nome without it.

NOTE FROM CHRIS:

You know that series of ads GEICO has been
running lately, right? People who save
by switching to GEICO are happier than…
“Gallagher at a farmer’s market,”
“Eddie Money running a travel agency,” etc.?

HumorLabs found the ones they DIDN’T use.
