Today's funny :o)

No dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the
 difference  between "complete" and "finished."

 However, during a recent  linguistic  conference held in London , England , attended by some of the best  linguists  in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the
 presenter  when he was asked to make that very distinction.

 The question put to him by a colleague in the erudite audience was
 this:
 "Some say there is no difference between 'complete' and 'finished.'
 Please  explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand."

 Mr. Balgobin's response: "When you marry the right woman, you are
 'complete.' If you marry the wrong woman, you are 'finished.' And, if
 the  right one catches you with the wrong one, you are 'completely
 finished.'"

 His answer received a five-minute standing ovation.
