This is "punny." A pun is a play on words. It
exploits possible meanings of a word or words and uses to its advantage.
It makes a joke out of words that sound alike, but have completely
different meanings. In this case "rhombus" is used in place
of "wrong bus." We all know that a rhombus isn't really a wrong bus,
but any parallelogram with equal sides, which includes the square. This
is what makes the joke funny. What jokes can you come up with using
puns?
