Superb quote from Gainsbourg in reference to the 500 french note

« A Pascal, chauffeur de taxi qui m’a taxé un Pascal.
Amitiés
Gainsbourg »

Playing on words in reference to the 500 franc note, Gainsbourg uses alliteration on the letter “X”, so characteristic of his repertoire, creating here a parallel between taxi and taxed.
