Yancey McGill Resigns From SC Lite Gov’s Office

|| By FITSNEWS || Former S.C. lieutenant governor Yancey McGill has left his job as director of the S.C. Office on Aging – a post within the administration of current “lite gov” Henry McMaster.

The Democratic politician took the $122,000 a year (not counting benefits) gig back in January when McMaster replaced him following the November 2014 elections.  McGill, a longtime rural state senator, “ascended” to the lieutenant governor’s office in June 2014 after no “Republican” was willing to sacrifice their seat in the South Carolina Senate to take the job on a short-term basis.

The job came available when its former occupant, Glenn McConnell, resigned to take a position as president of the College of Charleston.

(For all the background on that craziness, click here).

Sources close to McGill tell FITS he and McMaster didn’t have any issue working together, and that McGill “sincerely just wants to get away and relax.”

McGill, 62, is a native of Kingstree, S.C. and graduate of The Citadel, South Carolina’s government-run military college.

Based on facial features, Jean and Nikki could pass for mother and daughter.

A group of senior citizens were exchanging notes about their ailments. “My arm is so weak I can hardly
hold this coffee cup.” “Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can’t see to pour the coffee.” “I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck.” “My blood pressure pills make me dizzy.” “I guess that’s the price we pay for getting old.”

“Well, it’s not all bad. We should be thankful that we can still drive!”

THE SMALL BROWN BOTTLE…. .

The other day I went over to a nearby CVS Pharmacy. When I got there, I went straight to the back of the store to where thePharmacists’ Counter
is located.

I took out my little brown bottle along with a teaspoon and laid them both onto the counter.

The pharmacist came over smiled and asked if he could help me.

I said, “Yes! Could you please taste this for me?”

Being I’m a senior citizen…I guess the Pharmacist just went along with me. He picked up the spoon and put a tiny bit of the liquid on his tongue and
swilled it around.

Then with a stomach-churning look on his face he spit it out on the floor and began coughing. When he finally was finished, I looked him right in the eye asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?”

The pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “HELL NO!!!”

So I said, “Oh thank God! That’s a real relief! My doctor told me to get a pharmacist to test my urine for sugar!”

Well, I can never go back to that CVS, but I really don’t care though, because; they aren’t very friendly there anyway!!!

He got a nice bump in pay for his state retirement and Social Securitycontributions for a few quarters and jumped ship as soon as he could apply for that Social Security Old Age Retirement check.

Retirement is based off 36 woking quarters…..so I doubt that to be the case

So, you don’t think that a tripled or quadrupled salary for a year will make a difference in an averaging of those quarters?

A senior gentleman and lady lived in a Columbia area nursing home. After a few nights of playing bingo, playing bingo, the mutual attraction between the two became too much to ignore and they hooked up for their first night of passion. As they got ready to do the dirty deed, the lady warned the gentleman to take it easy on her because she had acute angina. The gentleman replied, “I sure hope so, because you have the ugliest tits that I’ve ever seen.”

The nursing home takes a group on an outing to an ice cream shop. The first person off the bus is an old guy who hobbles in and has a hard time walking and is hunched over. He goes up to the counter and says: “Banana Split,please.” The lady at the counter replies: “Crushed nuts?”
“No,” the old man says: “arthritis.”

McGill liked to spend money. He was spending way too much money. McMaster tried to reign him in and that was that.
