No dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED. However, in conference held in London, , attended by linguists from around the world: Samsundar Balgobin was the clear winner.
His 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.
His 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.

Nicely done. I'd say he has a COMPLETE grasp of the English language.
