"Sorry, guys. It's only legal in international waters, according to prime-time mainstay "The Simpsons." It is NOT legal in the state of Missouri to instigate monkey knife fights, as local college students Terry James, 21, and Preston Cambridge, 20, found out the hard way. The boys are currently jailed without bond on charges of animal theft, mistreatment of animals, illegal gambling, illegal use of weapons, endangerment of others and public urination.
"I'm sorry, but there is nothing funnier or more exciting than a monkey knife fight," stated James. "Had I any idea that it was illegal, I would have put a stop to everything. I just couldn't fathom that an activity that provides so much to so many could be wrong. I still won't. Believe me, the Young Republicans will be taking this all the way to the top."
