Just to lighten the mood around here!!
[ROFL1]
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, who decided to call him after the contest. He
won a trip to travel around the world in style and a case of 25
year old Eldorado rum for his answer
