Corrections in Correctionville



Correctionville got its name from its location. The town is situated on what is known as a surveyor's correction line, needed because the curvature of the earth causes parallel lines, streets, meridians to converge as they approach the north pole. Seems that meridians aren't the only things that are corrected in Correctionville. Paul finds all his missing rogue socks, his check book all of a sudden comes into balance, and a man with that plaid-clashing tendency is transformed into a dapper Dan.
