That's the same thing in mine.
I was rather thinking of a contraction of 烧包死

Bazza,
I don't think the colloquial term (if it's true) apply to the joke.
Sorry for the digression.

I'm not sure of that but I feel that 烧死 could also mean "to be dying for money" or "to be dying for success" in colloquial chinese.
Anyone to confirm ?
