A bus station is where a bus stops.

A train station is where a train stops.

On my desk, I have a work station.

Today?  My desk is a work station.

[A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the second part of a sentence is unexpected in a way that gives one pause and causes one to re-frame the first part of the sentence.]
