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 ?

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

My dictionary just says "burnt to death".

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