A few words of wisdom!!

No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference
between these two words. In a recent linguistic competition held in London
and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a
Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation which lasted over
5 minutes.

The final question was: How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE
and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there
is NO difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.

Here is his astute answer:

"When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the
wrong woman, you are FINISHED and when the right one catches you with the
wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!!
