    If I try to do my d&d character voice it just sounds like duke nukem.

    I was really hoping for a factually correct pun at the end there!

    Did you guys hear about the cat burglar who tried to rob an Indian restaurant?

    He went in through the sky light, but he slipped and fell 30 feet.

    Sadly, he ended up in a korma.

    at the risk of missing the point,

    joke seems to be on this guy, because the book doesn't seem to exist. There's no isbn recorded; no entry on the usual suspects; and the language is pretty clearly comical.

    *researches*

    reddit points to a linkedin page (which they call the publisher; no idea where they got that from), where the image appeared ~2 months ago. Scanned the comments and saw a familiar name: Bill Elson, 3 days ago. Dude seems to be on a crusade.

    Presumably it's sold as a notebook/journal filled with blank pages, thus it wouldn't have any of the identifiers of an actual publication

    I worked in a second hand bookstore. I data entered reams and reams of books that came through the store, to sell them online. 15 to 20 books an hour, for 20-30 hour a week. Part of data entering the books was using isbns to quickly grab the relevant data to prefill the entry to make it faster.

    Please believe me when I say that the statement "Most of those kinds of books get ISBNS" is not, unfortunately, in agreement with my eight years of experience.

    My first glance at that book is "At least the publishing information is easily findable" then sigh and prepare to enter it all by hand.

    that's a good point, but I'll note that I did a couple searches and couldn't find it.

    I tried it again, specifying 'notebook' and Amazon is offering one, though it's definitely in the vein of "please make this fake thing real, internet": independently published on May 27, 2022; different 'author'; a modified cover; and so on.

    I remain reasonably confident in my original guess that the specific picture is a sort of office gag that escaped into the wild.

    this isn't a joke per se, but click through for a very funny self-own (yeah I know the original premise is kinda creepy, sorry)
