The Chauncey Emergency Management Group is trying to pay the street light bill with a little potty humor.

The citizen's group places places an old-fashioned, wooden outhouse on a resident's lawn with a donation box where the toilet bowl should be and a sign on the door that reads, "Redneck Wishing Well."

People who find the latrine in their yard have to chip in to get it shipped out. They also get to pick the next home it graces.

The emergency management group's Jerry Dowler, whose phone number is posted inside the outhouse, hauls the privy in his pickup truck.

The money generated helps cover the southeast Ohio village's $500-a-month bill for street lights.

Within its first two days, the emergency management group collected $ 200.
