The usual way is for the writer or  humorist to include an attribution
to the author or source.  That implies that the writer or humorist is
NOT the original author and that the joke belongs to someone else.
However, if there is no attribution, one might suspect that the writer
or humorist is trying to plagiarize the joke.
