I don't like it when people get hurt, but I do enjoy a clever prank.

I like that one, Jim. I appreciate its simplicity.

No dictionary has ever been able to define the difference between "complete" and "finished." However, during a recent linguistic conference, held in London, England, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was asked to make that very distinction. The question 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.."

Complete is spatial; finished is temporal.

But his answer was funnier.

Nicely done Clod.

I'd have said that one refers to the thing itself - that is complete, where finished refers to what was done to the thing.

But then again, completed complicates things.

If you build a coffee table, it may have all its parts assembled, but it isn't complete, til the finish (i.e. stain, paint) is applied.

Only then is it complete, and finished.

I have a bunch of projects I'm finished with, but sure aren't complete.

There are three mums. A Brunette, a Redhead, and a Blonde.
They were all talking one day and the brunette says "Oh my gosh y'all I went through my daughter's purse the other day to get some gum, and I found an ounce of weed. I cannot believe she smokes weed!"
They comfort her, and the redhead says "Yeah, well I found a fake ID in my daughter's purse. I cannot believe she has one".
So they all comfort her. Then the blonde says "That's nothing. I found a condom in my daughter's purse. I just cannot believe she has a penis"
