I'm curious where you got your Player's Handbook.  In my player's 
(which I happen to have open next to me) it says, and I quote:
        "With respect to combat, monks attack on the same
         table as thieves" *AD&D Player's Handbook
                            TSR Games, 1978, p. 30

Has the *new* Player's changed this ?? Having played a monk in several
campaigns, if I can attack on the Cleric's table, it would be great,
but I doubt that my DM would allow it.

By the way, when playing a monk, never forget that you can stun a monster !
My DM has a tendency to forget this, But my remembering has saved me and
my party several times; ie.  You are up against very nasty monster, fighters
are attacking, but not effectively.  Meanwhile, monk sneaks behind monster
and, getting pluses from behind, attacks, hitting with enough force to stun the
monster for 1d6 rounds.  Fighters finish him off, party lives.
