Seen/heard too many horror stories where HR's job is just to do a cover up so the company's reputation doesn't get tarnished. So unless you're willing to go the whole nine yards as suggested above, here's the answer you don't want to hear. Deal with it.

No idea what kind of person your co-worker is. But if he can be reasoned with when spoken to seriously, talk to him. If he's as immature as you make him sound, find a way to laugh it off. It might not be your cup of tea to exchange insults (within limits), but some people do enjoy getting a rise out of people. And if you're too thin skinned, you'll have a tough time ahead of you. Not just this incident, but for your whole life.
