I was walking down the street. Something caught my eye...and dragged it fifteen feet.

An editorial interpretation.
A joke built on a phrase taken literally. Something 'catches your eye' is an idiom for noticing, but here it grabs the eye like a hook and drags it along the pavement. The deadpan delivery makes the gruesome image land as an absurd wordplay twist.
