Received this in an e-mail and thought I'd pass it along.


No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between the two words complete and finished. In a recently held linguistic competition in London, England, attended by the best in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man from Bachelors Adventure, was the clear winner with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes. Here is his answer which made him receive an invitation to dine with the Queen. He won a trip
to travel the world in style and a case of 25 year old Eldorado rum for his answer.

His final question was this....

How to 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
And when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED.
And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!
