A man rides a toy rocketship as his therapist takes notes. The man is happy and the therapist is stoic.
People do not usually ride toys during therapy.
Why is the man riding a toy rocket?
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".
