My cousin sent me this in an email...so I just
had to share it!
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!" ;DMy cousin sent me this in an email...so I just
