910　Zero Malley, sir 报告长官，零矛利

One day in artillery instruction, a colonel came to inspect our class. First up was Private O'Malley. The colonel asked him what reading he had on his 105 mm howitzer. “Two-nine-oh-seven, sir,” was the reply. “Soldier,” said the colonel, “don't you know you never say ‘oh’ in the artillery? You say ‘zero.’ What's your name, soldier?” “Zero Malley, sir,” answered the private.
