I had since looked for a copy of that story, unsuccessfully of course. Chiefsplanet amazes me again, the story I could never find pops up out of nowhere. Good stuff FAX.

The place I read it was a book called The Best of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader which has a bunch of strange stories like this. Oak Island is one of the longer ones. There's also one about a Frenchman called La Petomaine who could fart on command, fart songs and blow out candles with farts, who played to packed houses in France.
Here's a website regarding Oak Island
