Gold is measured in carats, not carrots.

It's a joke, because the two words sound similar when you say them.Big Smile

The Carat, or Karat, is a measure of the purity of gold, where 24 carat is pure (but very soft). Not to confused with the carat of gemstones, which is the size, equal to 200 milligrams (0.2g).
