A good tongue lashing should suffice to put said boss in their place. Stupid remarks should not be the stuff of lawsuits.

I'm with Mik and also Ax on this. We really can't go crying to the system every time our feelings get hurt.
It's actually kind of snowflakey.

If I was a lawyer, I wouldn't hang my hat on this one. Can be interpreted more than one way and demonstrable harm would be hard to prove.

I believe a pattern of behavior needs to be shown in many types of cases.

If you're going through chemotherapy, the last thing you need is more stress, such as looking for a new job, or getting into an HR-related battle.
I wouldn't say this is snowflakey - she is going through a ton of shit already. A comment like that wouldn't bother me, but I'm losing my hair already. For some people it would be very upsetting.
The way I would handle it is I'd ask for a meeting with the person who made the comment, and I would point out to them how hurtful the remark was - "I don't know if you realised, but what you said was very hurtful" type of approach. If it re-occurs, then he hasn't got the 'I was only joking' excuse.
I was only joking

Yeah, okay. Then as an end note, go upside his head with a stapler.

I think I had an online corporate training program on this issue that suggested that very response. While also making it clear that you can always go to HR if you'd like to.

Empty, or with him in it?
Is that an incitement to violence?
-
No, it was a trap. If he said 'with him in it', I was going to report Aqua to the FBI.

I do believe I phrased my response in the form of a question, condoning neither implicitly nor explicitly an incitement to violence, destruction of property, or any other legal infraction generally.
-
I shall of course advise the FBI accordingly.

I prefer the direct approach.

The trap closes.
