Physfit turned the computer off, then unplugged it from the wall so 
creepy power leakages wouldn't mess with his ATI FirePro graphics card 
and the power supply on his computer in some mysterious way to make them 
do funky stuff on the screen. His cat pees sprayed inside the monitor 
from behind, as well as on the screen and down from there to the lower 
bezel, seeping inside had ruined enough of pixels to bother him; he 
didn't wish to get intermittent black screens on top of it as well.

So he sat back and thought what he'd like to eat. There wasn't that much 
starch on Long John Silver's fish fillets, plus he loved their coleslaw 
if the quality was still like last time he was there, i.e. in his young 
days, when he never cursed. So he jumped inside the car and drove off.

The closest one was about 7 miles away. He used to dine in one of them 
before each school exam in his young days (when he never cursed), so had 
kind of a fond memory of those days and this type of dish.

Of course he'd skip the french fries and those fried balls, whatever 
their funky names were. "Ahah!.. 'Hush Puppies.' Fucking names these 
Americans choose; (3rd curse of the day) and Jesus wants me not to curse 
at them. How preposterous. How fucking preposterous." (4th curse of the 
day) Physfit complained.

"No wonder these same Americans are now bombing those same people in 
Ghaza from which their Jesus had appeared." Physfit continued.

"When you're kind to these savages, you end up getting bombed by them 
even if you're their FUCKING JESUS!" (5th curse)

"Hush Puppies!... Motherfucking cro-magnons." (6th curse)

"I'll get more coleslaw instead." He thought.

Got there and drove into the drive-thru, and looked at the menu board to 
see what his eyes will spontaneously fall on, now after almost 40 years.

"Hmm... what the fuck?..." (7th) "Why all the prices are expressed in 
repeating decimals? ..." He chose the one with three fillets anyway and 
ordered it, and drove further in and at the window noticed the employee 
was carrying a smartphone looking gadget on which she jotted something 
then told him, "$18 if you want it as meal, and $13 as only the fillets."

Physfit asked, "How did you come up with those prices? I couldn't figure 
them out at the menu board." She said, "There is a little software on 
this device that converts repeating decimals to a ratio of two whole 
numbers, the denominator is the price of the meal, the numerator the 
price of the fillets without other items that come in the meal."

Physfit replied, "Then the two numbers better be the fully reduced ones 
down to their smallest numbers." She replied, "Oh, of course."

Physfit paid for the three fillets and a large side of coleslaw and 
turned around and began driving home. While driving, he thought to 
himself, "I better write that code myself for next time's Long John 
Silver's excursion. This shit smells too good." (8th) "Plus how can I 
know they're telling the truth about the ratio being fully reduced."

What was the code that he needed to write?
