Complete and Finished
Subject: Complete and Finished

Other sites vary with the standing ovation bit and what his prize was, it is very unlikely to have been an invitation to dine with the Queen..

    WORDS DO MEAN SOMETHING!

    No 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: Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese, 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.
     
    Here is his astute answer: "When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE.  But, when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED.
    And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"
     
    His answer was received with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes and it entitled him to receive an invitation to dine with the Queen.
