It's from the Dilbert Comic Strip :) Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointy-Haired_Boss "The Pointy-Haired Boss (often abbreviated to just PHB) is Dilbert's boss in the Dilbert comic strip. He is notable for his micromanagement, gross incompetence and unawareness of his surroundings, yet somehow retains power in the workplace."
