Alternatively:

...

if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
    if [ "$DIMWIT" == "Y" ]; then
        PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]Do not type anything stupid.\[\033[01;34m\] # \[\033[00m\]'
    else
        PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]Yes, Master?\[\033[01;34m\] # \[\033[00m\]'
    fi
else
    PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h: \[\033[01;34m\]\w $ \[\033[00m\]'
fi
