Okay, that sounds like something my Dad would have said back in the day! RIP Dad! Now, I wish he were here to make his stupid jokes!
Next time just say to your father: "I know you don't mean anything by it but even so, it hurts my feelings when you make jokes like that," Or words to that effect. If he apologizes, accept the apology. Either way, drop it. Don't get in an argument about it. Let him have the last word. Then whenever he does it after that, just say "Ouch," and look sad for a second. If he's reachable, and he probably is, he'll get the message and stop. Even if he doesn't stop completely, he'll respect you more for standing up for yourself. If it's beyond you handling on your own, enlist your mother, a sibling, concerned relative, one of his friends or one of your friends' parents to speak to him on your behalf. If it's an extreme case speak to other adults or a professional. Chances are high that your father loves you and wishes the best for you, and wants your love and respect in return. He may lack the awareness or social skills to create that kind of relationship. He may just need you to help him come ahead.

yep your dads a prick
If you really wanted to shock your dad, you should have replied "Nah he doesn't need one. He prefers to wear the collar himself."
