English Lesson: "Complete" or "Finished"?

[quirky3]

Subject: English Lesson: �Complete� or �Finished�?

For those of you interested in linguistics:

Here's your English lesson of the day:

"Complete" or "Finished?"

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, and 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. :D

While pledging a fraternity, I was tasked to report to the brothers how many bricks it took to complete a certain section of an old street in town. I will never forget the number I came up with, 32117. I counted three times, because it was very important to be precise. I got three different totals, so I averaged it, and prayed I was correct. When I reported at the next meeting, I was told that, "No, pledge, it took one brick to complete it."
