Even though I don't discuss Islam with people I don't find any common ground with, my new Pakistani roommate doesn't understand. The last time he brought it up, I asked him to explain wife hitting in 4:34. He had never heard the verse it so I read it out word to word...

He began to explain using the usual arguments, there's a warning before bla bla, and went on for ~40 mins until I pulled my favourite trick. Told him the verse wasn't real and I had made it up. He burst into laughter and said he knew that "bullshit" couldn't be from the Qur'an.

But it was, ofcourse, and I made sure he knew. Mighty embarrassing but he had brought it upon himself.
