There is no longitude that is crooked.

You may be thinking of the International Dateline. Technically, it should exactly

follow the 180° meridian. But by international agreement, it was drawn with kinks

and zig-zags in it, in order to avoid splitting any single village, town, city, state,

island, or group of islands into two separate calendar dates.

So, the 180° meridian is straight, just like all the others. But the Dateline, which was

supposed to follow the 180° meridian but doesn't exactly, is crooked.
