It is thought that yawning is an involuntary action and is natural. But beware; it is not always so. Yawning may lead you into prison ~ if it is inappropriate and is disturbing.
A man in a U.S Court gets a jail term for yawning in the court and disturbing its proceedings. He faces six months in jail for criminal contempt.
Clifton Williams, 33, was at the fourth-floor courtroom at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet when he yawned audibly while Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak was sentencing his cousin to 2 years' probation on felony drug charges. The judge had to stop proceedings for the loud sound to subside. But the judge was quick in delivering the maximum penalty for criminal contempt without a jury trial.

Williams's father said, "I was flabbergasted because I didn't realize a judge could do that. It seems to me like a yawn is an involuntary action."
But you are wrong, Senior Williams! Because the court thinks otherwise. "It wasn't a yawn. It was a loud, boisterous, deliberate noise and over-exaggerated stretch. It was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the court".

Now, if you think that yawning is associated with tiredness, stress, overwork, lack of stimulation, or even boredom, then think twice before acting!
