I don't get it. Maybe I don't work enough with databases or it's because English isn't my native language. I know what drop DB does in SQL but it's also not a relatable thought for me and I also can't detect any pun. Also: Why have all the other organs eyes? If there's any organ with eyes connected to it, shouldn't it be the brain?

The entire joke is that every organ has a purpose, and the purpose of your brain is to make bad decisions.

Are you driving? Did you ever have the impulse to just jerk your steering wheel and crash into that tree rapidly approaching at 120mph?

The comic plays off of that.

Yes, I have had these thoughts and the call of the void. I never had them when working with databases though (I try to avoid SQL) so my thoughts went in a different direction.

No eyes + happy face ⇒ more intimidating
