Difference between 'completed' and 'finished'

Nope this is not another 'vocab for the week' blog-post but an e-mail received from an ex-articled assistant friend of mine..found it worthy to be shared..Enjoy!

No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words 'complete' and 'finished' in a way that's so easy to understand :

Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED but there is :

When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE...

And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED...

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are... COMPLETELY FINISHED !!

Makes sense doesn't it?!
