It all depends on how you punctuate the question

1) what do you consider folk? (do you know that one by The Spinners?)

2) what...... do you consider folk?(how is your sense of social rsponsiblity?)

3) What! do you consider, folk? (do you think a lot?)

4) What do you? consider folk! (what are you up to? give it some consideration!)

As someone said there seven types of ambiguity, people aren't aware of the layers of profound meaning that lie hidden in these seemingly dull repetitious questions.
