No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between those two words.

In a recently held linguistic competition held 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 five minutes.

Here is his answer which made him receive an invitation to dine with the Queen, who decided to call him after the contest. He won a trip to travel the world in style and a case of 25 year old Eldorado rum for his answer.

The question was this.

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 Mr. Balgobin’s 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!"

They have not heard of the colorful South African expression
"Finish and Klaar ".

LOL!
I would have loved to see the man who dared to say that in front of legions of women

Well then, taken in context, then the bravest of men is he who walks into the house at four in the morning, drunk as a skunk with lipstick on his collar and smells of perfume who then walks up to his angry wife, slaps her on the ass and says 'go lie down fatty, you are next!'
