It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a... clover

Bill and James had just finished playing an afternoon's marathon of basketball and were walking back to Bill's car when Bill suddenly stopped while pointing excitedly at the ground.

"Dude, look at that!"

"What?

"It's a four-leaf clover."

"So?"

"So, do you know what the odds of finding one are?"

"I don't know, but I presume it's pretty rare?"

"It's like a billion to one, seriously. I'm going to have such great luck from now on."

"A billion to one, huh? I think I'd rather win the lottery. The odds aren't as bad, and I'm pretty sure I could get more luck out of it."

"You're always such a pessimist Jamesy boy."

By now Bill had stooped down and carefully pulled his lucky charm out of the ground and deposited it into his wallet.

"See there James, I've got it next to Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Jackson, and I'm sure that my green little friend will be bringing me lots of new Presidential friends as well."

"You're delusional; the only thing it's going to bring you is an angry little leprechaun looking for his lucky charms."

"Scoff all you want, but my luck is changing."

"Well then, what's that on your windshield, eh?"

"Bloody hell, I parked in front of a fire hydrant!"

"Yep, your luck sure is changing. But don't worry, if that leprechaun does come after you, I'll drop-kick the sucker and send his ass back to marshmallow land."
