Dish it out right back at them. In truth, "ball busting" as it has been called can be a pretty distasteful thing. I've seen people use it as a way of using ball busting as a veil for more malevolent feelings underneath, while defending it as a show of 'camaraderie.' Now, when some moron decides to bust my balls, I just bust his, albeit even harder.
It's one thing to have a friend take a few friendly jabs at you, it's another to push another's sore spots and continue doing so for the sake of entertainment. If your friends are doing the latter, lighten up, get quick on ur feet, and do it right back. That'll give them a taste of their 'camaraderie.'
