Be assertive, and confident without being an idiot. I would definitely confront the person about having a problem with it along the lines of. "I'm sorry that I offended you with that joke earlier. If anything I do offends you please let me know." It makes the point that you realize you may have done something dumb, but are grown up enough to take criticism and rectify the problem. If the guy was still being a bitch about it, heres where you make the decision. How much does this job mean to you? Is it worth telling this guy he's spineless? Embarrass him? Tell him to fuck off and leave? Swallow your pride and take it? Try and talk it out further? Play the scenarios in your mind before any confrontation, and weigh out the outcomes. Honestly though having been "the boss" at some points in my career, I'd never say I had an issue with someone to another employee, and try and get them to fix the conflict between us. Thats juvenile and pathetic.
