Guest blogger: Alex Danoff When you think about federal employees, is their sense of humor one of the first things that comes to mind? If not, maybe the contestants of the 2012 Funniest Fed Competition, sponsored by GEICO, can change that.

Insuring athletes’ legs … and arms … and hair?

Chilling out on the cheap at the drive-in
By Nathan Erb on April 24, 2012 at 11:01 AM
It feels like a scene out of an old movie. Families perched on the hood of the car, the smell of popcorn in the air and a double-feature on the big screen just after sunset. It’s a page out of history, all right, but you can still experience it today. A trip to the drive-in [...]

Each month, we share an image from GEICO’s past and invite you to exercise your caption-writing skills. Here we are on the Enterprise, where Mr. Spock is showing a group of Retrovian ambassadors around the starship’s technology center. OK, not really.

Memory of the Month: Talking turkey
By Greg Marsh on March 1, 2012 at 9:45 AM
Each month, we share an image from GEICO’s past and invite you to exercise your caption-writing skills. GEICO associates have always had a competitive streak. That has helped us rise from being the nation’s sixth-largest auto insurer in the 1980s (when I began my career here) to our current status as third-largest. But we’ve always [...]
