A man is in a psychiatrist's office speaking to him. he is riding on a coin-op rocket ride.
There is a rocket ride in the middle of this man's office.
Why is the man riding it?
I think this can all be traced back to my mother ship.

A play on the word "mother" --- in therapy, people will sometimes trace their emotional issues back to their parents, e.g., their mothers, which makes the first part of the joke normal. But the final word, ship, forms "mother ship", which is a type of space ship from which other space ships are launched. So: unexpectedly but appropriately, the patient in the rocket's problems don't derive from their mother, but from their "mother ship".
