is there a word for it?

Ray was taking out the garbage. He came into the kitchen and said, "What goes in here?"

And for a second no one knew what he was talking about because in different contexts that question can have opposite meanings: what should I put in here? or what should I take out of here?

I had that happen with another sentence recently which of course I can't remember right now. So, I'm intrigued. Can you think of other examples of this? Is there a word for sentences that can have opposite meanings?
