This tech post could be straight out of a Carry On film – the 11 funniest reactions (NSFW)

Wearable technology specialists Wareable posted a tweet that will have raised their profile considerably, because it could have come straight from the mouth of Sid James – or Finbarr saunders, if Viz is more your era than Carry On films.
