Subject: using "puts" in ternary operator

I find that I get errors if I use "puts" in it's standard form in a
ternary operator
x == 2 ? puts "two" : puts "one"

error is:

SyntaxError: (irb):3: syntax error, unexpected tSTRING_BEG, expecting
keyword_do or '{' or '('
x == 2 ? puts "two" : puts "one"
               ^
(irb):3: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting $end
x == 2 ? puts "two" : puts "one"
                     ^


It works however if I use this form:
x == 2 ? puts("two") : puts("one")
Could someone help me figure out why? Is there documentation somewhere
on this?

thanks
