No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the
difference between the two words, COMPLETE and FINISHED.
In a recently held linguistic competition held in London, England
attended by the best in the world Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man
from Bachelors Adventure was the clear winner with a standing ovation
lasting over 5 minutes.

His final question was this:
Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.
"How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a
way that is easy to understand?"

His answer made him receive an invitation to dine with the Queen who
decided to call him after the contest. He won a trip to travel the
world in style and a case of 25 year old Eldorado rum for his answer.

Here is his astute answer:
"When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE.
And when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the
right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!"
 
That reminds me of the difference between being involved and being committed. If you have ham and eggs for breakfast, the chicken was involved and the pig was committed.
