A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose
JOSS-STICKS,_ n._ Small sticks burned by the Chinese in their pagan tomfoolery, in imitation of certain sacred rites of our holy religion.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Joss-sticks,” The Cynic’s Word Book (1906)

At the office, our building currently relies on a diesel generator. We have an agreement with the power company: when electrical supply is not available, they switch us to the diesel generator and buy back any excess power. It's ironic, as some advocate for banning gasoline cars, yet we are compelled to use a diesel generator.
