The odds of him impersonating Sylvester the cat are much lower than him having a speech impediment ..

I wouldn't make jokes about people's speech unless you know them just for future reference

I dont agree. I think that it was okay for OP to joke around with her boss.
But I think OP would be in the wrong if she didnt explain herself and apologize, as it is quide rude to make fun of the way someone speaks.

joking with your boss is certainly OK. making fun of anyone is not.

The thing is, though, that OP wasn't making fun of a speech impediment, she thought her boss was imitating a cartoon and joking with her. She doesn't deserve it because the thought that her boss might have a speech impediment didn't cross her mind.

I don't get why he would impersonate anything during a speech. Especially if he's new.

If her boss didn't know he sounded like Sylvester before, he does now....

I don't think he was being an ass if he didn't know. He should just apologize and hope his boss is forgiving.

if you don't know you should keep your goddamn mouth shut instead of making fun of someone.

OP could have looked around to see if anyone else in the room was laughing. If no one was, it's likely it wasn't a joke.

How was he being an ass if he didn't know? Learn to either read or reason. Jesus.

Why would he be impersonating Sylvester? FYL OP, it was an honest mistake, but it's better to assume they have an speech impediment than to not; you can laugh about one, but be extremely embarrassed about the other.

YDI since you didn't know if it was real or not. I don't see why your new boss would do something like that, anyway.

Maybe he thought he was trying to lighten up the mood of a new boss being present?

People with speach impediments are often extremely self conscience of how they sound. .. It is understandable that he got offended when OP pointed it out
