Joking about my stutter with friends

Joking about my stutter with friends Do any of you guys joke about your stutter with close friends? I’ve always found it as a good way to cope with the cards I’ve been dealt. I’m a firefighter so I work with a bunch of type-A jocks. It’s like living in a frat house so we constantly haze each other and crack jokes. My friends and coworkers give me shit about my stutter all the time and I always chime in and give a lot of self-digs. They can be pretty ruthless but I have learned to just accept it. I was bullied relentlessly through grade school and had very low self esteem. But I think as I grew up and matured, I learned to just joke about it. I was just wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience of joking about stuttering and making light of it instead of letting it beat you down.
