I forgot my sig.

There's a book or somesuch in the game you can read that explains the meaning of "Hello Sailor", but I no longer recall the details.

Mental meltdown sets in.
(I REALLY need to buy new RAM modules)
Okay, I can't dredge up anything else from my failing memory here.
So go ahead, make me feel worse. What's the game?

That was very low of you, Michal
Now, I asked where did "hello sailor" make something happen first whether it was useful or not.
Keep thinking. When do we know about that phrase?

Thanks to Michal (thanks, Michal , I finally see what you're getting at, Rael.
Unfortunately, I never played the original, only the Zork trilogy. So I guess your question is an honest one, but I still consider my answer is correct (and confidence in my foggy memory banks is restored).
After this, you'll probably come up with something even more obscure

I told you: it was in a Zork game. I never played Dungeon either. And its not in Zork III.
Remember: it doesn't have to be something useful.

There was a process in Zork I where you had to perform a ritual in Hades. I remember speaking "hello sailor" and then turning into a ghost but that wasn't true. If you interrupt the process (doing or saying anything) you stay wandering as a ghost for eternity.
I just tried it again...
Sorry to everyone :-[

I don't think I ever tried that in Zork I. The ceremony I remember all too well, but "Hello Sailor" wasn't part of it.
It was interesting while it lasted, though. Your question, that is

At least the phrase was in the black book that was part of the ceremony....
Guess I don't need that much amount of RAM
