I received this message from Joey:

I have a couple theories, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

1. Non-native English speakers tend to use more formal grammar than native speakers.

2. Sallah may not even know Indy's full name, and I'm not sure if the question is correct that Sallah has known Henry Jones, Sr. before this adventure.

3. In times of crisis, people say odd things.

Your thoughts?
