    Not only yawning, even if you do some other activity that involves contraction of your facial muscles, your eyes will water.Like, laughing continuously for a longtime.
    That's because, the Lacrimal sac
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrimal_sac
    that stores tears, gets squeezed and the tears flow out of the only possible route out.Yes, the eyes.
