Bobby Tables?
You know a comic has reached legendary status when “Bobby Tables” is the first thing to come to mind for so many of us
Exploits of a Mom - xkcd
https://xkcd.com/327/I think in this case the joke is more about intrusive thoughts
Be honest. That database isn’t very good anyway. You’re doing them all a favor.

This shouldn’t be this funny. I need to go to bed.
DATABASE, DATABASE, JUST LIVING IN THE DATABASE, WOAH OHH! ~
The wall of pure fiction 's cracking in my head,
And the addiction of my world still spreads ~
Hey, the data is all gone
just one little drop
As a treat!
DROP THE data BASE!
Silly lungs. You extract oxygen from air. Putting air into the bloodstream is very bad.
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.
Thank you.
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.
Why have all the other organs eyes? If there’s any organ with eyes connected to it, shouldn’t it be the brain?
No eyes + happy face ⇒ more intimidating
Brain or testicle?
