Happy Birthday!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I was going to up vote you earlier but there was no voting buttons and response was so slow. I am on FF and using NoScript so when I enabled a script everything got back to normal!

As a natively swiss-german speaking guy (I also speak the 'usual' german, english (obviously) and used to know french) I always wondered about the word "Sir". As far as I can tell, there is no equivalent word in the german language.
Now: How is "Sir" any different from "Mister", and in which situations do you need it? As far as I remember, I never been thaught that in any english class.

Herr? Not quite equivalent, perhaps??? 
They are both polite ways of addressing a person of the male pursuation...

Thought about this - Herr is equivalent to "Mr." / "Mister".
"Herr Johnny J." == "Mr. Johnny J."
Nice try, but it fails to take the difference "Sir" / "Mr." into account.

I know, but the use of it is quite the same, I should say...

Nope Johnny is right if you think of the historical meaning of Herr
where the folk adressed to the king or lord as Mein Herr (My lord /liege also i.G. Mein König) that is equal to Sir Blabla of Somthing.
Therfore i'd say this is a typical problem of German and English where the english speaking have multiple words for one meaning of a german word to precise more.

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else

Absolutely. Both were originally used to address people of a higher stand and later became the polite form in general.

Sir is generally used for someone more senior or respected than mister. In a formal sense Sir relates to someone who is knighted or honoured. It can be used as Sir someone or as in the forces as yes sir / no sir as a response to a senior. the term mister is used less and less these days and sir is only used in a very formal sense or casually with someone you know well. Never with a stranger unless it is their formal title.
Hope this makes sense Good Sir

I know very little German, but I think the closest equivalent is Mein Herr.

Well I generally go with the word "Herr" and the last name of the person If I know.
If its totally stranger then I tend to use my tone of voice to show respect
cheers,

I (as a native german) think that "Sir" has belonging to the context also the meaning of Master, Chief or Boss.

Sir is, as others have said, an honorific associated with rank. Historically it was only used for an Knight or higher. In today's usage it is employed as a greeting as in Dear Sir or Dear Madam. In the military you address any superior officer as Sir, often beginning and ending a sentence with it, as in "Sir, yes Sir!".
It should still never be used with any other name except where the addressee is actually ennobled.
As an aside, when I was first out in Budapest two of the guys I worked with called me[edit] Willy or Vilmos [hence the nom du net] and I didn't mind them using a diminutive. However with other people, especially those who were not friends, I still expected William.
One numb-nut donkey brain decided to call me Willy, having been told not to. It came to a head one memorable afternoon when I was trying to decipher a nasty synchronisation issue and he was standing beside me say "Willy! Willy! Willy!" to try and get my attention. I was miffed.
I told him, as nicely as possible, "Only friends can call me Willy, you are not a friend. To you I am William or Mr N-W. If you find that too hard to remember, just address me as SIR!"
Until we fired him about a month later, he addressed me as Sir.
