It's not necessarily a stream at the beginning and certainly not at the
very end of the flow. And don't forget about the obligatory shake when
he's finished.

Put a night light in the bathroom with a 4W lamp.

BTW, I have trouble convincing the females in my house that the toilet
*lid* should be closed after use. It keeps stuff from falling in the bowl,
and it prevents the splashing dirty water that gets aerosolized when you
flush from escaping and slightly contaminating every surface within about 4
or 5 feet (such as toothbrushes). The bigger issue is stuff falling in
during a flush; the person who clumsily drops bottles or handtowels in the
toilet refuses to reach in after them and can't seem to operate a closet
auger.
