It must be understood that logic, as applied to the great mass of humanity-which is to say, sane people, did not always apply to Jinx. That said. Sometimes he appropirated the methods of sanity for his own....unique ends.

A normal person would note a slap often aids in allowing someone to regain control of themselves-which is to say it restores clarity. Something the good professor was in dire need of, if his words were any indication.

A normal person would also hesitate to slap a man so clearly in dire straits.

A normal person would seek alternatives, perhaps note the surprise of the gesture was often the factor-rather then the pain.

What a normal person would not do is take that fact, and conclude grabbing someone by the shirt and kissing them full on the lips was a fitting substitute. 

Jinx, as noted above was not a normal person.

At this point, the thieves hands grabbed the good professor's shirt, hauled him up somewhat, and the thief proceeded to enact his twisted logic.
