A.N.1: A drabble for LiveJournal's Open_on_Sunday.
A.N.2: Unconventional, inasmuch as these characters haven't been shown having a jocular conversation in years. Plus, using GEICO for car insurance on the West Coast - unconventional.
A.N.3: Dialogue lifted from actual mock-soap opera GEICO commercials, currently in heavy rotation in my media market. It helps if you've seen the commercial, and are familiar with the Telenovela stylings. Weak inside joke, but it was stuck in my brain.
