Three Pete is the result of 3 con men named Pete. It was an innocuous

meeting of three derelicts destined for obscurity. They hit upon the notion

that all three were named Pete and Three Pete was their perfect identity.

Their devotion to the name took them down a path of inseparability,

which eventually become a problem. Once they donned the triple costume,

they realized fate had inextricably linked them, and they vowed to never

leave the costume under any circumstances.

A health crisis emerged when it was discovered during a routine circus

physical that they had begun to grow into one another, and have been together

for 42 years, with no visible ill effects. They also hold the copyright to the word

"Trimese" Twins. Many a night they have resorted to brawling over the use of

twins in their billing on the marquee. Two of them are severely alcoholic.

The third, sober member continues to lobby for the title "Trimese Triplets".

But he's stuck in the middle.
