Not exactly the kind of housekeeping you want when it means the hotel's server uptime is scrubbed clean

Greasy kebabs + cotton money = animal traces everywhere!

I think that upper case VAX probably implies the DEC VAX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX, rather than the vacuum cleaner from a company that happens to be called "Vax". I suppose anyone outside of the early 80's will not have had much cause to know about the old school VAX, as DEC's Alpha was all the rage in the 90's boom times.

But it's our money is already full of animal grease.

I mean...take a drunkard getting kicked out the club. She/He gets a greasy mystery kebab of pizza dripping with who knows what oil. She/He pays the taxi driver with a pile of notes out from his pocket...their are covered in grease and other such fun....the bank note is made of cotton paper. It's gonna soak up a little surely!

At least with the polymer ones you can soak them in mild disinfectant after a hard night's taxi-ing before passing them on ;). Can't do that wil the paper ones for long at all.

There are probably more traces of animal fat on the fares a taxi driver gets on a Friday night with the cotton paper we have now - I mean...all those greasy kebabs and pizza gubbinz before you get a cab.
