  -> thanks, Kobe, but perhaps this isn't right after all, see comment from Adam
neutral  Adam Smith: Sorry, but this doesn't sound English - Well, it just doesn't sound right. It's not grammatically correct either, if you don't mind me saying - it implies that he utilises two streams when urinating!! :-)

  -> OK, I see. I had concentrated on the phrase "2 stream" I agree that the sentence I offered is indeed odd.
