Scarily normal for people in their late twenties and early thirties.

If I saw pics of my CEO, however, dressed in women's clothing with his head down a toilet "shouting for ralph", that might change the way we interact a wee bit.

I know that won't happen because he doesn't subscribe to any networking sites so all his cross-dressing vomit pics are probably safely stored on his hard drive...
I once had dealings with the German subsidary of a British telecom company. The CEO was a protogee (sp?) of the British COO, i.e. was protcted by him, and gay. Not that this bothered me but he got himself photographed at the Berlin love parade in tight shorts and a vest dancing on one of the floats.

You cannot imagine the stream of invective from his colleagues on the board, with whom I was dealing. Despite the fact that I was busy getting them turfed out of their jobs, we had a slight disagreement over a trifling million CHF, every telephone conversation would begin on the lavel of "Dieser Schwule Sau ... " and continue from there.
