Thank you, that was the joke.

By sounding up to four strings simultaneously.  Even Bach wrote lots of such chords - think of his great Chaconne for solo violin.  With a normal bow and string tension, you can't bow all four strings together, but two is trivial, of course, and three can be done with a bit of pressure; four is a matter of spreading the chord and letting the lowest string resonate.
