Brother Ron threatens to break up the famous RI trio

In what would be the biggest break up since The Beatles, The Cardi Brothers may be forced to disband if brother Ron doesn’t get his way. An anonymous Cardi’s Furniture insider said today that the relationship between the 3 brothers has been tense  over the past several months and could ultimately cause the Fab 3 to break up, if it’s not rectified soon.

“Ron wants more power”, said the source. He’s sick of being stuck in the middle of NI, RO and PE. He wants to be first. He’s sick of Nick and Pete always giving him crap. He’s threatening to go off on his own and open his own furniture store.

Ron Cardi wouldn’t return our phone calls, but we caught up with brother, Peter in the parking lot of the Swansea store. He had this to say about the impending break-up.

“Ron isn’t going anywhere and NI-RO-PE is staying NI-RO-PE!  Look, we’re brothers and we’ll solve any disputes like brothers. If Ron doesn’t come around, I’ll sit on him and hold him down while Nick farts in his face. It worked when we were kids and it’ll work now! Besides, NI-RO-PE without Ron is just NI-PE….or worse, PE-NI. I just can’t let that happen.”

The Rhode Island State Police received a phone call from a woman at Scarborough State Beach, Narragansett, this afternoon who when coming out of the water with her young children, discovered a topless woman laying on the beach.

“I couldn’t believe it!” said 36 year old Ima Talyun of North Providence.  “We come in from a swim and one of the kids screams. I look over and there’s a woman, topless, just laying there. I was freaking mortified! I grabbed my cell phone and dialed 911.”

RI Trooper, Duncan Decaf, was patrolling the area along Ocean Road and responded to the scene.  After Trooper Decaf made his way to the sand, he couldn’t believe his eyes.”

“She was topless allright and I had no choice but to take her into custody and charge her.”

The unidentified woman is being held at the ACI in lieu of $50,000 bail.

When asked if the woman had said anything to explain her actions, Trooper Decaf replied, “She didn’t say anything. She doesn’t have a head or an upper body. How could she say anything?”
