Have you seen some of the stupid warning labels on products? Really, lotion is for external use only?
Ever wondered why your company has some of the rules it does? It's simple. It's called the so-and-so rule. Someone does something stupid, rude, or otherwise undesired, and BAM! a new rule is born. While your employee handbook probably doesn't say "The Bob Smith Rule" above "clothing must be worn at all times", that's really what is it. We have several rules and policy modifications at my work that we refer to amongst the HR team by the person who inspired them. In case you didn't guess, I can't think of ANY that are the result of fabulous employee achievement. It's like something I read once about the medical field- it's much more likely that the disease you discover will bear your name than the cure you find for it.
