"Could do (something) standing on (one's) head" = (tôi) trồng cây chuối (đầu lộn ngược) cũng làm được (việc này) -> Làm điều gì một cách rất dễ dàng, thoải mái và không tốn công sức.

Ví dụ
A long time meth-cook (điều chế ma túy đá) and user who's spent 17 years of his life in prison for meth crimes, Tony says jail became too easy for him - "I could do it standing on my head" - and he decided to give himself once last shot by attending drug court (tòa án cai nghiện).

Yeah, I have a pretty intuitive (trực giác) reaction to scripts. I know it’s something that I’m desperate to do when I have a vision of how to do it, instantaneously (tức thời, ngay lập tức). Sometimes I get offered things and I feel like I could do it standing on my head, and I have to be careful of that because, if I get lazy, it’s not so good. And then, of course, there are things that I read that I love, but it doesn’t feel right. There’s not much more to it than that for me.

Some investigators (điều tra viên) believe that Mr. Alarid, 32, who was paid off by a Mexican smuggling crew that included several members of his family, intended to work for smugglers (người buôn lậu) all along. At one point, Mr. Alarid, who was sentenced to seven years (ở tù 7 năm) in federal prison in February, told investigators that he had researched just how much prison time he might get for his crimes and believed, as investigators later reported, that he could do it “standing on his head.”
