Did you find that any of them brought you luck?
Do you ever find yourself looking at clover patches in hopes of finding one?

quote:

However, good luck can be hard to come by if you’re only relying on finding a four-leaf clover, let alone a five-leaf clover! The estimated statistical odds of finding a four-leaf clover on your first try is 10,000 to 1, and the odds skyrocket to 1,000,000 to 1 if you’re looking to find a five-leaf clover.



At one time I had a piece poster board in my car with 9 4-leaf clovers and 1-five leaf clovers taped to it.

I never had any leprechaun trouble either.

I used to look for them as a kid. No idea how many though.

Pretty random.

I don't think I've ever found one.

By this sewage drain at one of my friends' childhood homes there were a ton of 4-7 leaf clovers. Literally half were >3 leaf clovers.

When I was in elementary school, a secret admirer started putting a four leaf clover on my desk every day for a couple months when we came in from recess.

Never found out who it was.

They're actually very common, just not a lot of people look for them. We used to find them around our house all the time as kids, after a few weeks of finding them daily it got boring. Would find two 4's stuck together sometimes at the stem for an 8. Would put them in books and poster boards.

I still find them everywhere today and my wife thinks I'm lucky or some shite. Sorry dear, I just played outside a lot as a kid.

I'm sure he made up for it by naming his son Phate II though.

I used to comb over them when I was a kid. I remember finding a couple, not many though.

I've found 2. Most mfkers are two of them stuck to each other. Can you imagine the disappointment when you see it on the ground and pick it up and it be a poser?

When I found those two though.... Everybody and their momma knew it

when i was at lsu in the 1980s we found 3 or 4 in the field behind the TCBY shopping center on highland road right outside LSU.

we walked around the shopping center and into LOCKWORKS and gave them to the hot chicks cutting hair

hey, you do what works right?

Mrs Cove finds them every time she looks in a clover patch. Me, not so much. It's like a Rain Man type thing with her and damn four leaf clovers.

The warmer the ground is when the clovers begin growing = more four leaf clovers grown
