The Difference between Completeand Finished

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 won him 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. And when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"
