00:00My three roommates and I bet our entire month's rent
00:02on a silent challenge.
00:04Whoever said a single word during a fancy three-course dinner
00:07had to pay everyone's rent, $3,000.
00:11For two hours, we communicated entirely
00:13through aggressive hand gestures.
00:15We made it all the way to dessert and nobody was cracking.
00:18That's when I played my secret card.
00:20Before dinner, I had slipped our waiter a $20 bill
00:22with a special request.
00:24Suddenly, the restaurant lights dimmed
00:25and five waiters surrounded our table,
00:28clapping while carrying a huge chocolate cake
00:30with blazing sparklers.
00:32They loudly sang happy 90th birthday grandma
00:35right in my roommate Tyler's face.
00:37Tyler blurted out, wait, it's not my birthday.
00:39He paid my rent for the entire month.
