00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.681
(playful music)

2
00:00:01.681 --> 00:00:04.200
- Mmm. (laughing)

3
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.900
I definitely thought
that this was possible

4
00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:10.913
before I actually was
confronted with the comb.

5
00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:15.900
- The New York Times reports that in 2008

6
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:18.150
Senator Klobuchar yelled
at one of her aids

7
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:21.170
after the aid dropped a
fork that Senator Klobuchar

8
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:22.910
was going to use to eat a salad.

9
00:00:22.910 --> 00:00:25.710
Instead of using her fingers
or keeping it moving,

10
00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:29.110
she decided to eat the salad with a comb.

11
00:00:29.110 --> 00:00:32.280
We at Jezebel decided to
see how feasible it was

12
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.593
to actually eat a salad with a comb.

13
00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:38.050
I decided to use an afro pick.

14
00:00:38.050 --> 00:00:40.500
I'm very skeptical that Senator Klobuchar

15
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:42.880
had an afro pick with her
when she ate the salad,

16
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.900
especially not one with
a Black Power fist,

17
00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:46.600
but this seems like the most practical

18
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.490
of all the combs to eat a salad with,

19
00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:50.483
so let's see how this works.

20
00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:54.010
- I'm not sure what the best strategy

21
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:55.590
for this is gonna be, other than maybe

22
00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:57.660
just shoveling things into my mouth,

23
00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:02.010
or potentially, maybe
like stabbing the salad.

24
00:01:02.010 --> 00:01:03.923
- Let's do the fork tactic first.

25
00:01:05.055 --> 00:01:08.960
It works, kind of like
picks up the lettuce bits.

26
00:01:11.492 --> 00:01:13.825
(crunching)

27
00:01:17.972 --> 00:01:19.010
- It's a little sharp.

28
00:01:19.010 --> 00:01:20.910
The prongs will, you know, maybe like,

29
00:01:22.270 --> 00:01:24.720
cause some injury if you
use it too aggressively.

30
00:01:27.370 --> 00:01:29.850
- Okay, not as easy.

31
00:01:29.850 --> 00:01:33.183
If I was Amy Klobuchar and
I was starving on a plane,

32
00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:37.590
I mean would I have used a comb, no.

33
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:39.590
- I'm gonna try the scooping method now.

34
00:01:42.440 --> 00:01:44.160
You know, this works, too.

35
00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:49.520
However, I would never use a comb

36
00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:52.550
'cause I feel like that's the
sign of a true psychopath.

37
00:01:52.550 --> 00:01:54.623
- I think the comb was a choice,

38
00:01:55.660 --> 00:01:57.110
and I don't think it was a choice

39
00:01:57.110 --> 00:01:59.370
necessarily about hygienics.

40
00:01:59.370 --> 00:02:02.020
- If I was Amy Klobuchar, and my staffer

41
00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:03.960
dropped a fork that I was, you know,

42
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:06.410
gonna eat a salad with, I
would just use my fingers

43
00:02:06.410 --> 00:02:08.350
like I was at Medieval Times, like.

44
00:02:08.350 --> 00:02:11.063
It's never that deep to use a comb.
