Grammar Lesson

Grammar Lesson: Is it "complete", "finished" or "completely finished"?
No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between these two words -
"Complete" or "Finished".
In a recent linguistic competition held in London and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar
Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation. 
The final question was: '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 his 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!"
