And just to be nitpicky as hell, the line was " Father of Indy, give me your hand."

I think the idea of being overly polite is the right way to view this specific instance. I don't know where Joey got the idea that Sallah knew the Jones family "for ages", but Sallah DEFINITELY knew Indy quite some years, as evidenced, I think, in the first film. It wouldseem unnatural, giving Sallah's earlier forms of speaking, to hear him say something like "Mr Jones...etc".

You can darn my japanese Sensei and her beating of the system of Honorifics into me....hehe
