Interpretation
In this quip, Gabor turns domestic “training” into a punchline about divorce and property. The joke hinges on a reversal of traditional expectations: instead of valuing housekeeping as a wifely duty, she treats it as a practical skill that entitles her to the tangible asset—the house—when the marriage ends. The line fits Gabor’s public persona as a glamorous, self-possessed celebrity who used wit to comment on marriage, wealth, and gender roles. Beneath the humor is a critique of how marriage can resemble an economic arrangement, with domestic labor and material security negotiated—sometimes cynically—through divorce.
