For the decades preceding the treaty, the neutral zone best known today as the OR drape<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/11/why-do-anesthesiologists/ Why Do Anesthesiologists Really Put Up That Drape in the OR?(Gomerblog)]</ref> did not exist. As there was no clear demarcation of territory, the two factions wandered into each other's "territory" with often devastating results. Surgeons would attempt to finish [[Sudoku]]<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2013/06/anesthesiologist-calls-for-stat-sudoku-help-in-or-3/ Anesthesiologist Calls for STAT Sudoku Help in OR 3(Gomerblog)]</ref> puzzles, but would do so incorrectly and in [[Pittsburgh Pens|pen]].<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/09/nurses-doctors-pens/ Nurses, Doctors on Pace to Lose Over 1 Trillion Pens in 2015(Gomerblog)]</ref> Anesthesiologists would "get up in surgeons' grills" and make silly faces or sounds to get them to break concentration or [[Sterile Field|sterile field]].

After numerous discussions, they finally decided on the creation of a neutral zone and barrier, thus finally defining Surgery territory and Anesthesia territory. They drafted and signed the treaty on April 14, 1982 and shook gloved hands, restoring peace to our ORs. Ever since the treaty was signed, the drape surplus has been addressed with more productive endeavors, such as [[Puppet Show|puppet shows]] and epic drape forts.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/10/puppet-show/ Anesthesiologist Puts Up Drape, Puppet Show for Surgeons (Gomerblog)]</ref><ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/04/drape-fort/ Anesthesia Completes Construction of Epic OR Drape Fort (Gomerblog)]</ref>  '''Related Reading'''----- [[A List of Things We Can Comfortably Blame Anesthesia For]] - [[American Society of Anesthesiologists]] - [[Colonel Conscious Sedation]] - [[Coma Stomas]] - [[Cricoid Pressure]]
