Two sentries were on duty outside a barracks. One faced up the road to watch for anyoe approaching from the North. The other looked down the road to see if anyone approached from the South. Suddenly one of them said to the other, "Why are you smiling?"
How did he know that his companion was smiling?

They were two one-way roads. That way, both sentries could stand next to each other and see one another's face, yet still be facing the appropriate directions.

He turned around and could tell from the side of his face he was smiling?
