My friend can't take a joke, now he is mad how do i fix it?

So my friend and I just hung out all day, after I get home, he texts me something funny that he was trying to do before I left told me it worked but still wasn't good. Before I left he told me something out of context something that had no meaning at the time. It was about this girl, who has a boyfriend, though he likes her. So as a joke I text him, that she texted me asking about him. Just to **** with him. Though the who thing turned to ****. He took it so personal, said I could never be trusted again, offered to return everything I ever gave him. Said he told me that in private, which I replied yeah, and I sent that joke to you in private. Then I go off sending this super long message apologizing and explaining that we are friends, that I would never betray him. Also why get mad at me over this girl, that is ALREADY TAKEN. I asked him to rethink his action, before he says the wrong thing. After that he backed off the attack, though the tension is still there. Said we are still friends but that he will never trust me again. I told him how can we be friends if you don't trust me. I even said heck man I will even prove it to you. I NEVER FREAKING LIE ( Okay one lie, to him.). Heck man I even gave up on my girl because he said she wasn't good for me. I FREAKING GAVE UP ON HER, (did) because everyone hated her, and he told me that I should forget her, that she isn't good for me. SHE IS A DREAM GIRL. Anyways I gave up on a girl, because my friend said so, and here he is giving up on me because of a girl. PS. I NEVER GAVE UP ON HER SSSHHH. We talk all the time, she is freaking perfect. SSSHHHH. I just told him I did. Though that is not the point. The point is why, why, why, why, get so freaking mad over a joke, that you would throw away your friend for?
