This is a cool joke, because it has a paradox built in because it only works when written about in third person.
I mean maybe she actually said "on the way to work" but i think post people would say "on my way to work" which doesnt work.
-
I would totally say "I saw insert thing on the way to work today," and would have assumed that would be the natural way to say it, but now I'm questioning that
-
I saw a fox on one's way to work.
Actually, scratch that
-
"I saw a fox on the way to work" works just fine
-
maybe its just my weird brain then

"My Weird Brain" sounds like an 80s sitcom about a brain in a jar that can still somehow talk to people. And the backstory would be something like "One night, a lonely teenager tried ending his life by driving off a cliff. His body was unsalvagable, but his brain is preserved! Now he lives in a jar in the kitchen of government scientists kept secret from the public."
"My Weird Brain is filmed by a live studio audiance"

your weird brain works just fine

your weird brain on the way to works just fine

You can always subtly rephrase it to make the joke in person. The first sentence of the following can actually be pretty broad.
W: "I saw a fox on my way to work!"
H: "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. You saw a fox on the way to work?"
W: "Yes!"
H: "How did you know it was on its way to work?"

That degrades the quality of the joke quite a bit imo
