Joseph didn't like women. And with the help of the stone, he could get rid of them ... forever.
"I wish every woman in the world would become a man."
The stone's light was so bright and intense that Joseph dropped the stone and immediately closed his eyes.
When he opened them, he saw that the stone (because of the cracks in it) had fractured into several smaller pieces. And the pieces were still glowing!
His attention was diverted by Jon rubbing him again and he turned towards him. His thoughts went back to the wish he made. "Did it work? Are there no more women?"
Jon got a confused look on his face. "Women?"
"Yeah, women. You know, girls."
"What's a girl?" Jon asked.
"You don't know what a girl is?"
"No. I've never heard of one. What is it?"
"They're female." He could see that Jon just didn't get it. "The opposite of male."
"There is no opposite of male, Joe."
"That's ridiculous." Joseph got up and went to Jon's bookshelf. He grabbed a dictionary and leafed through it.

"I don't believe it. My wish didn't just change everyone into men, but it erased women from all of existence!" Joseph wasn't sure, however, whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
