In-laws and Outlaws

T. Ramaswamy
We come across so many types of laws in our day today life. But there are two types that come under a special category. These are "in laws and outlaws". When some one asked who came under these descriptions a gentleman said with reference to an example. The details follow.

A comes from a respectable family known for values and principles. He is a teetotaler, and of impeccable honesty. He joined public service as a Junior Engineer, married from a middle class family. His wife is a snob. She always harps on her husband's earnings and poor bank balance. Her sister is married to another Junior Engineer B who has an elastic conscience with a keen eye for gold and wealth. He earns thousands every day by stretching his principles and ethics to the sky. He owns four houses, rubber plantations, shares in several leading companies and a six figure bank balance in five banks with prospects of addition every month. Compared to B, A is a man of nothing. The father in law is full of praise for B. When some one asked him how his sons in laws were faring in life his answer was:

"B is immensely rich. In a short span of service he has made a mark. He is really my son in law and A who is living only on his principles is my outlaw."
A, who is declared an outlaw is now a fugitive in his own home?
