Either way, he is in a potential world of pain. Put your indignant face on and walk into his office with the card and demand to know "what this is all about". It is inappropriate and illegal to harrass your employees and place them in a hostile work enviornment. If you recieve any flack for this "rumor" or for standing up for yourself, call a lawyer. If you have to find new work because of this little joke of theirs, they're going to have to pay to get rid of you. A couple of months of pay until you can find a new job sounds fair to me, but that is between you and your lawyer.
My rule of thumb: If you feel that you are being treated unfairly or wrongly at your place of work, there's a good chance that you are.
