One thing I have learned about forgers, in all my years in this hobby, they might be skilled at what they do but the majority are a pretty dumb bunch.
Yes, the signature looks like a legitimate forgery attempt, but let's face it - many of us could produce a similar result. The joke is that they put a 'decent' signature on a fat guy smoking a cigar, who looks nothing like Babe Ruth, and the photo is likely '50s or '60s, maybe even more recent.

It really has to be a joke.
