No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain
the difference between complete and finished.
However, in a recent linguistic conference held in London,
England, and attended by some of the best linguists in the
world, Samsunder Balgogin, a Guanese, was the clear winner.
His final challenge was this: "Some say there is no difference
between complete and finished. Please explain the difference
between complete and finished in a way that is easy to
understand."
His astute answer: "When you marry the right woman, you are
complete. But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are finished.
If the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are
completely finished."
His answer was received with a standing ovation.
