I guess not every comic can be a winner.  Talking about an appliance using a certain amount of kWH per day is clear and normal.  Power gets billed by the kWh, not the Joule.  While technically not wrong, wanting "cancel" a sub-part of the commonly-used energy unit kWh and leaving it in deliberately-obscured units most people are less familiar with is the sort of insanity I'd more expect from White Hat than Cueball.
