Because it's easy, because many of them have it coming, because even those who don't should learn to live with it, because we enjoy it and, lastly, because we can!
As a sailor I harrassed Marines, soldiers, Air Force weenies and Coasties.
As an Aviator I harrassed skimmers and bubbleheads as well as all staff corps types.
As an S-3, and later, P-3 flyer I was in constant conflict with fighter pukes, attack weenies, and anyone who didn't fly what I flew and do what I did.
Why? Because it's easy, because many of them had it coming, because even those who don't should learn to live with it, because I enjoyed it and, lastly, because I could!
It was all part of the culture, both in the Navy and among motorcyclists. It's fun as long as it's not taken seriously. Anyone who actually takes it seriously needs to get a life.
My brother is a huge HD nut. Both he and his wife buy new Ultra Glides every two years or so. I needle him a bit but we really go at it when he's with his Harley buddies. He likes to see them get wound up when I zap him.
