Hilarious Coworker Miscommunication

edit 2: in case it wasnt clear, coworker is a russian working in the UK so their english isn't so great.

Me: Hi, I noted on your obligatory form return you included the rank of partner (they're a junior). Such attempts at humour do not conform to FIRM policy as such I have to place a humour warning please refrain from any other attempts to make my life more interesting in the future

Coworker: I am sorry my name, I will try to hold myself!!!

Me... Good, it will be appreciated, I will put it down to alcohol abuse

Coworker: I think it is your attempt at humour, you can stop with your comments from now on, I said sorry, I thought you got that it was not done on purpose!
Me... all is forgiven (smiley but didn't show, the :D one)

Coworker: Next time when you decide to threaten me with any kind of abuses, I would recommend to think twice! It will not be tolerated again! If you want to complain, you can talk to my manager...

Gotta love fridays!
