Ed - The Clover And The Shamrock

[boxtops]

Hi Ed, I may be wrong but I believe a shamrock has 3 leaves......

[Old_Geezer]

It's a lucky shamrock.

Hmmm, OK - rather blows the "St Patrick telling people about the Holy Trinity" out of the water, then....?

[AB Editor]

Not this one :)

(I know, I know, but it's the closest thing we've got for the time being!)

I thought he told the snakes to get out of Ireland? http://media.irishcentral.com/images/MI+St+Patrick+Saint+snakes+getty.jpg

The forth leaflet is where St Patrick said its ok I was only joking its not true

[Old_Geezer]

I think you are right, I suspect most have 3 leaves
Evolution, being what it is, one is going to get mutant changes occasionally though.

[Old_Geezer]

Reputed to have done both Ed.

LOL (Lots on O_G's link, Ed)

Three or four leaves, it's better than the alien space ship before.

[lady-janine]

i've already commented on that DTC.

[DTCwordfan]

So you have - just seen it!

[Baldric]

Have a non-sham shamrock.

The fourth leaf is in reparations for the native snakes which were cruelly expelled from Ireland by St. Pat.

And he's never credited for kicking the moles out, either. Gardeners, in particular, might thank him but they seem a bunch of ingrates.

When I saw it today it reminded me of a alfa romeo I used to have - Green cloverleaf 1600 GTV

Ed...Hopefully you have ignored all comments of criticism. A Shamrock is a Clover and four leaved ones are deemed to be lucky.

Best of luck to you .......Hans.
