I believe this is meant to bring philosophers down to the level of "average" human beings, by making the analogy that, although they spend their time speaking in complicated ways about lofty ideas, in the end they are no different than others, because when they have a toothache they will just whine and complain like the rest of us.

A further analogy can be made (and this is more of a stretch) that philosophers have not complicated or lofty was of explaining a toothache or the pain they suffer, while they seem to find it easy enough to do so in regard to our existence, God, and the meaning of life, etc.
