I feel like responding... oh never mind. I shall do what I'm told, sir! You are so right: authority needs to put its foot down and not stand for any funny business. Or else.

Well, he probably needs to learn when a joke is "exhausted" or it is
not funny anymore. But he did apologize in the message that got him

Being told you must stop means you must stop. Continuing and apologizing
is not stopping. Sometimes authority must practice power to shows when
it says something it means it. Making a joke out of authority is
normally a worse crime than what was done.
