In Communications Officers' course, one of the key items to remember is that we often work with foreign nationals in joint exercises and in war. Accents can cause difficulties, so in addition to the international alphabet, there were things to do with numbers to help.
We were told to use niner instead of nine and fife instead of five to insure that there was no confusion.
Another tip was to use 'tree' instead of 'three' to avoid getting a double syllable, which can make it harder to understand some of the different accents.
EDIT: In the international alphabet they use 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,niner. The reason is because the German word for "no" is "nein". If you're in Germany meaning to say somthing with the number 9, there could be some confusion.

mule. When a male donkey is bred to a female horse, it is a mule. However, if the dad was a horse rather than a donkey, and the mother was a jenney(female donkey) instead of a mare (making the mother the father and the father the mother) you would get a Hinny. But since it was a donkey with a mare, it was just a plain old Mule.
