Sekarang, dalam kelakar, anak-anak itu memarahi orang tua mereka karena pergi ke Amerika Serikat, sementara mereka tetap bertahan di Eropa.

Now, in jest, the children chide their parents for leaving for the United States, while they have remained in Europe.

Tapi, seorang yang tidak kelakar?

But, I mean, was the guy at least funny?

Demikianlah kelakar penulis kondang Samuel Johnson.

So quipped the famous writer Samuel Johnson.
