Think of a word. Insert a hyphen in a mischievous place. I got this idea as a pal of mine was typing and split the word "disputas" onto two pages... dis- on the first page and next page "putas". I was shocked and said do you know what you just did?

Not actually a hyphen, just an awkwardly long space.
