The way the piss goes on in a seemingly fixed path represents the Kafkaesque notion that our fates are fixed completely and that we lack control over our lives, which shows how trying to break free of the hold of bureaucracies is an absurd notion. The statue of the man represents the authorities pissing out waste product, which is an allegory for ordinary people struggling against that which cannot be struggled against. Or it could just be a statue of a man taking a piss.
TIME TRAVELER "Mr. Kafka...Im so glad to meet you...you are incredibly famous in my day" KAFKA "Really? Wow....all of my hard work, slaving away writing my stories....it is not in vain! In the future I am RESPECTED!" T.TRAV. "Why yes, you certainly are!...in fact there is a museum dedicated to your work" KAFKA "Really? Tell me more, please!" T.Trav. "well its really beautiful...outside the front are 2 statues that are designed to urinate on each other!......Kafka?" KAFKA "..........oh......."

When I went to Prague about a month or so ago, I passed signs for this museum, but didn't go. Almost wish I had now. XD
