I learned it's very important to make sure it's really incense before I light it

My son was cleaning out the junk drawers in the kitchen yesterday and bought me sticks that were in an unmarked package.  He asked me if they were sparklers, so I took one out and smelled it and thought it was incense.

I said, "Great Ricky, thanks, this place could use some good incense smell."    I lit it up over my ash tray on my desk where of course there are thousands of papers and all of a sudden the damn thing started shooting flames all over.   Yup, it was a sparkler!   I started screaming and Ricky got it and put it out in the bathroom sink.
