Dilbert comic strip for 03/30/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive.
I guess (as far as what I've understood, after having googled) it's a reference to a song called "You say tomato, I say tomahto"
The following is a part of its lyrics:
...
You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto;
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
....
I wonder if potahto is pronunciated as pəˈtɑːtəʊ like tomato is pronunciated as təˈmɑːtəʊ in BE.
By the way as far as I've concluded from my search, there is no such thing as potahto in English, am I right?
