My experience has been that most logicians have advanced Philosophy degrees. And most philosophers are a bit odd (awkward, insane, what have you). So, it makes sense that your logician is awkward and insane.
I could argue that you'd have to be insane to teach logic for 24 years, but then I'd be making a case for my own (inevitable) insanity. Tell you what, though, you can learn a lot about people by teaching logic. It's truly amazing to see some people's thought processes in action. But that's another thread.
