“As a matter of principle, I never attend the first annual anything”
— George Carlin
Simplified Meaning:
Someone is saying they don't go to events labeled as the "first annual" because they don't believe in supporting something that's unproven or unsure. Imagine a friend invites you to the first annual neighborhood picnic. Since it's the first time, no one knows if it will be any good or if enough people will come. The person who said the quote prefers to wait and see if the event is successful and happens again next year before they decide to join. This way, they can be more confident that it's worth their time. It's like if a new restaurant opens, you might want to wait until it gets good reviews before eating there. This cautious approach helps avoid disappointments and ensures they only spend their time on things that have proven to be valuable or enjoyable.
